[ceph-users] Re: Snapshot automation/scheduling for rbd?

I am having a script that checks on each node what vm's are active and then the script makes a snap shot of their rbd's. It first issues some command to the vm to freeze the fs if the vm supports it.

Am I just off base here or missing something obvious?

Thanks

Can rbd image snapshotting be scheduled like CephFS snapshots? Maybe I missed it in the documentation but it looked like scheduling snapshots wasn’t a feature for block images. I’m still running Pacific. We’re trying to devise a sufficient backup plan for Cloudstack and other things residing in Ceph.
